Kylie's dramatic interview

07/03/2011

Kylie broke down in tears on Sunday night, mid-way through a live interview to promote her new tour. The interview was with her close friend, Aussie music journalist Molly Meldrum, which must have made the conversation much more intimate than the usual press junkets. Meldrum had asked the singer to talk about her ordeal battling breast cancer.

On the subject of her illness, Kylie told the interviewer, 'You might have seen the bravery. I don't think the public saw... well, I stayed indoors. My family got me through really rotten, dark moments. I was talking to some parents across the other side of a bed and their child was there. I was saying the things that I would normally say in that situation, just making conversation with the child, with the parents, giving them some support as well. And then, they really caught me off guard, they just eyeballed me and said, 'How are you, and we hope you get through it' and it’s like...'

Kylie had to call the interview to a halt while she composed herself, then saying, 'The reason that that gets me is, and the greatest part of my job and what I do is the humanity of it, and there’s certain moments where that really cuts through.'

The singer is now back, on top form, and is about to start her new European tour, 'Aphrodite' in Denmark.
